Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I PURCHASE A USED VEHICLE ON 2-03-03 AT 11:OO AM I WAS ENSURED THAT IT WAS A GREAT VEHICLE. ABOUT 5:15 PM I WAS ON THE FREEWAY, AND IT STARTED TO SMOKE AND IT LOOSE COMPRESSION. I HAD SPOKE TO THE DEALER AND HE STATED THAT IT WASEN'T HIS PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT I WAS SOLD A UNSAFE VEHICLE.
